What's up guys Alec here with Veed and this video
I'm going to be showing you how to easily and effortlessly
add closed captions to your videos.
Now that we're gonna be using to do this is a tool called
Veed and this tool can basically automatically transcribe
the audio from a video into text and help us turn this text
into closed captions automatically.
So that being said, we're just going to jump over to Google.
And the first thing we're going to do is type in Veed,
which is V E E D.
And then we're just going to click on the first link which
is create edit and share videos online for free once we have
clicked on the Link we're going to be taken into vide.
If you don't already have an account, you'll be prompted
to create a new one for free.
Once you have an account.
We can just click on new project.
Once we're in new project.
We're going to click on the upload video button.
And this is the video we're going to be uploading that we
want to have closed captions for so I'm just going to click
on upload video and then I'm going to select the video that
I want to upload and click on open.
Once I have opened the video If we have a look in the top
right we can see the progress of the upload.
And once it's finished uploading we can then start the process
of Automatically adding closed captions to our video.
So now the video is finished uploading on the left side bar
right here.
We're going to be clicking on the subtitles Tab and then
here we have a feature called Auto subtitles.
So we're going to click on this and then you're going to
select the language that you speak in now in this video,
obviously if we take a listen I speak in English.
Alright, okay.
So this is a test video.
Okay, so I want to be adding closed captions to my video
in English.
So I need to select the language that I'm talking in English
and I just click on start now.
Basically, what Veed does is it automatically transcribes All
the audio from your video into text and turns this text into
closed captions.
So now if we take a look at the bottom of the screen on in
the timeline, we actually have all of the closed captions
here and there also appearing on screen right now now once
we have our closed captions as a few things we want to do
first of all, we just going to play through it and check
they're all correct.
All right.
Okay.
So this is a test video and let's just say this is a podcast
and I'm trying to add an audio wave and I'm not going to
go through the entire video just to save you guys time.
But basically you just want to check that.
It's all correct.
If there's a few mistakes you can quickly just go ahead and
easily add anything you want.
For example, I could write test right here just to show you
guys it appears on the screen in real time as well.
And then what you can do also do is just change the times
of a subtitle.
For example, if I want this first one to start earlier.
I just have to click on the stopwatch where the playhead
is at in the timeline and it will automatically change and
there you go.
Now what I can do is head over to options and I can download
these as an SRT file.
I'll so none of the styling on the screen will matter right
now. If I click on download there will start downloading
to my computer and basically now I have an SRT file which
I can upload at the same time as this video Let's see if
I'm uploading it to Facebook.
You can add closed captions on Facebook.
You need to upload an SRT file there.
If you're uploading to YouTube and you want to add closed
captions, you have to do it with an SRT file as well.
So this file is basically going to be the file that you're
adding to your video on other social media platforms.
Now, if you did by chance want to style the subtitles and
keep them on your video.
There's a bunch of different features you can do here.
You can change the font the font size the colors.
You also have a bunch of presets.
Just select this one or this one then once you're happy,
if you want to download it with it on the video.
You can just hit the download button in the top, right and
then you can download the actual video with subtitles on
screen, but for the closed captions, you do want to go to
options and download it as an SRT file.
You can always download it as a DOT vtt or a DOT txt.
If you want to further edit it in the future and you also
have the possibility to automatically translate this closed captions.
So let's say if I added another subtitle track
and I want subtitles.
Let's just say in Spanish.
I select Spanish and I need to translate from original and
then I just click on ADD.
And now if I click on edit.
I also have these subtitles in Spanish these closed captions
in Spanish.
So again, I just go to options and then download as an SRT
and now I have the Spanish subtitles, the Spanish closed captions
for my videos and that is how you add closed captions to
your videos.
